Jealous of that Cake Designer? How to Handle

About 3 months ago, I was doing my usual Facebook scrolling and I stumbled upon a post and for some crazy reason, I got super jealous of this cake designer. 

Now, I am 100% aware that there will always be cake designers more talented than me, which I am perfectly okay with. That doesn’t bother me at all. I have bigger fish to fry.

Instead, this situation was a business millstone they achieved. As for me, that same goal was still on my goal list that I haven’t acted on yet…let alone achieved. 

So I decided to investigate why I was jealous of this cake designer. 

And I quickly identified that cake designer designer to act of her goal and make it a reality. While for me, I didn’t do ANYTHING to make it happen. 

ah, here come the excuses. 

There are some things that I know I am fully capable of doing and achieving in my cake business but I had an entire slew of reasons why. 
1. It wasn’t the right time yet. 
2. I don’t have the money.
3. I have too much on my plate. 

Being jealous is healthy for your personal development. (yes!)

Being jealous usually uncovers what area you are ignoring within yourself that another cake designer fully owns.

You are witnessing exactly what you are fully capable of achieving yet you are choosing NOT to go for it. 

There are tons of cake designers who’ve decided to stop charging low for their cakes and now freely and easily charging $1000+ (yes thousands) for their cakes. 

There are tons of cake designers who created some pretty crappy cakes and now make the most beautiful cakes. 

There are tons of cake designers who have a booming and successful business after YEARS of struggling financially to make ends meet.

If you know you have some excuses as to why you have’t experienced the success you’ve wanted, how bad do you really want your life and business to change?
 

The cake business you keep working towards is 100% within your reach but it will require you to become a different person to have a different level of success. 

When you realize that cake designers who have the success you want aren’t that different than you are, you take them off the pedestal and hustle for what’s yours. 

No one is more talented than you, or has more of what it takes to win in this cake world.

You are capable of having the business you want, charging the prices you want, and building the business of your dreams. 

Is now the time to go after it?

Stop spoon feeding yourself reasons why you don’t have the business you want.

How to Quit your Job and Run your Cake Business Full-Time

I was working my sales job at the Apple Store. Apple, Inc. hired me to work with business customers, however, during the day, I was mentally day dreaming away wanting to quit my job and become a cake designer full time. 

After months and months of planning, prepping, and working up the nerve, I quit my job! I moved to Toronto, and enrolled at Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts to learn how to become a cake designer. 

And from there, my journey started on being a full-time entrepreneur and running a cake design business. 

I see this question asked sooo many times inside my cake community, the Cake & Success Society, about how to quit your job and run your cake business full-time. 

And full-time I mean, earn a full-time income. Income that pays the BILLS - real bills like rent, insurance, groceries, phone bill, etc.

After being an entrepreneur for many years, here are my best tips for knowing when and how to quit your job to run your business full-time. 

1. Make a decision to quit - then burn options B-Z.

Make your mind up and decide you WILL quit.

This is different than hem-hawing, asking the opinion of others, thinking, calculating, worrying, playing around with the idea, etc. After you’ve seriously considered making the decision, you will come to a cross road and decide you WILL quit.

Once you decide, the details will fill in later.

As humans, we need to know every single detail to make a sound decision. I know what it feels like to want as much information possible to make a life-changing decision.

However, you honestly won’t know all the details until you’ve made the decision to quit. 

Once you decide you will quit, have a date when you will quit, the universe will start to help you out to get you ready to make your decision. 

2. Know exactly how much money you need to support yourself = how much profit you need to make each month.

And don’t sell yourself short thinking you need less than what you really need. If you truly need $5K then that’s how much money you need to bring into your cake business AFTER expenses - not just sales. 

This is profit. 

You need to know these numbers so you have a star to aim at each month. 

3. Bring in the business now before you quit. 

A lot of entrepreneurs think that since if they have the free time to quit, they will then work on marketing, advertising, and networking to bring in their cake orders. 

Makes sense right?! But this is backwards. 

Trust me, I’ve been there. 

You have to develop the work ethic, sales strategies, confidence, the consistent money flow, and the money mindset to operate a business with or without your part-time, full-time job. 

You can do this while working your job now so you are more confident to quit.

A lot of entrepreneurs quit then see they have to figure out the above without the customers. That’s what I did. 

Which boat do you want to be in? I’d say nail get your customer base up so it’s easier for you to quit with a steady flow of income coming in vs. making $2K a month when you really need $5K a month and no idea how to make that happen. 

4. Trust that you will be Okay no matter what. 

Instead of thinking of the worse of the worse, trust that you will always have everything you need, the universe/God will always supply for you and that you will be okay no matter what. 

Quitting your job is probably the scariest thing to do which can attract fear. Instead of giving fear your attention, give faith your attention instead. 

This is easier said than done but it’s required to keep your business going full-time. Build the mindset, the confidence, and the knowing that you will bring in the money.
